[QUOTE="med stud, post: 3887510, member: 1211"] I think this is a move back to the roots, so to speak. Looking at Conan, Elric and Fahfrd and Grey Mouser you see that they are a bunch of of anti heroes all of them. None of them were motivated by the need to do "good" and none of them were people you would like to spend too much time with, too different degrees. I think the points of lights can be interpretated that some places are very evil and some are more medieval Europe style pragmatic. A hero in a world like that shines like a beacon because noone expects her. I also think that we don't have to think about fundies this time. D&D is a small hobby, the kind of attention seeking fundamentalists already have Harry Potter and Grand Theft Auto to think about. PS: About D&D making people crazy: If you are grounded in reality it takes far more than D&D to unhinge you. If you have a vulnerability, D&D can make you lose touch with reality but then if D&D wouldn't something else would. [/QUOTE]
